Doing the HirhlanIa.

BRIDGE OF EARN, Scotland, July 2O.-It
was very quiet at KilgaSton. Black clouds
hung low over Strathearn, rendering out
door sports hazardous. Mr., Blaine, except
ing two hours of morning exercise, kept
close to the house. He had received another
big consignment Of his favorite American
newspapers and spent most of the day di-
COSTING them and writing letters. The four
in-hand has been ordered up for o'clock to-
morrow to drive the thirty miles to King
horn, where Mr.. Carnegie will participate in
the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of
the Alexander III monument Mr. Carne-
gle is going to make the most of tally -ho
pleasure. He has ordered twelve additional
roadsters the very best to be had for money
in Edinburgh, which will complete a stable
of three changes. This means that the Car
negies will thoroughly do the highlands and
it is likely that the Blaines will accompany
them. Information about Mr. Blaine's plans
is extremely precious now.

Saloon Demolished BY a Mob.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 20.-There was
IN exciting time last night at Wilkinson, in
Hancock county, growing out of the mob
bing of a saloon run by William Wilson,
which was Established in that villa ge about
Ghree weeks ago The saloon was in charge
Of John Robert Wilson, a cousin of the pro-
prietor, and when the mob, numbering sew
enty-ive or one hundred persons began bat
Jering the front windows and doors, using
bowlders an a piece OF timber, he fired one
shot from his revolver, hoping to intlmidate
the assailing party. The ruse failed to work.
After the mob entered the pool table was
broken with a sledge hammer, and the coun-
ter and bar fixtures were similarly served.
1t is said for Wilson that had he known the
ointment Of the village, he would not have
undertaken the business Parties from Will
Kinson report that on Saturday night sew
eral persons We're elected from the saloon,
going away vowing vengeance, and they are
inclined to think the attack was instigated
by this class, and not by those opposed to
the saloon from a conscientious standpoint.

SEALING VESSELS SEIZED.
An American and . British. Schooner u
UnluckH YeaEaIa.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 20 BY the steamer
Dora, from OunAlaska information, Is re-
ceiyed Of the seizure of the two vessels for
sealing within the limits prescribed by the
United States government The crafts are
an American schooner, Challenge, Of thirty
tons from Seattle, and the British steam
schooner, Annie B eek, hailing from Vic
toria. Both seizures were made by the
United States revenue cutter Richard Bush,
and the vessels and crews were sent in to
Setka- The Challenge was taken July l. in
Ekeston, Onekston Islands, when overhauled
by the Bush No seals were to be seen, but
there was sblood on deck and other evil
dences that the crew had been engaged in
sealing. The Bush took charge of her, in
spite of the protest OF the captain, who urged
that every skin that he ha was obtained in
the open waters of the Pacific.
The Rush took the prizes to Ounalaska.
Two days later the Annie Peck was siezed
near st, George, which is not far from Oun-
alaska. As in the case as the challenge,
there was blood on the deck aud the crew
appeared as If they had been hard at it. Her
captain sent up protest and threatened to
seek redress from the British government.
He was likewise sent off to Sitka, where he,
as well as the American captain, will be-
tried. When the Dora departed from Oun-
alaska there was fleet of twenty sealers
lowering off Sanack under the espionage of
the Rush. Others were reported at Unge
and the officers of the Rush were in need Of
assistance, The Bear has gone to the Arctic

Order of st. Augustine.

New YoRE, July 20 The Herald's Phila-
delphia special says that the provincial of
the Hermits of the Order of st. Augustine in
the United States, has been formally de-
posed from high office on grave and scandal
Gus charges, and a former provincial, who
it is alleged was defeated by crooked means
at the last election, has been appointed his
successor. The deposed officer is Rev. John
P. Gilmore, who apparently received ma
jority of one at the election by the chapter.
1t seems that this result was the work of an
ecclesiastical combine" and that Rev. G.
A. McEvoy, the former incumbent, had been
reelected. Friends Of the latter caused an
investigation to be made by the head of the
Order of Rome, and Mr.. McEvoy was
given the position. Some of Gilmore's
friends withdrew from the order, but mat.
ters are now quieting down.
